so.... ya have to save the file ANYWHERE but where it looks like it should go (to me at least...!) been fighting my Colorado for a couple days to get the GPX's to work right! Thanks! I had gotten it right once by 'mistake', but reset the whole unit as I wasn't liking some of my other setings. Have been using my IQue 3200 for a couple years... thought it was time to 'update'.... I was starting to get discuraged! I Wish Garmin had a little contiunity in operation. I now have 3 different units (a RINO 120, the IQue, and a Colrrado 400t), and each is a new learing experence... not always in a good way! now that I got my GPX's to work, I am sure i will like the Colorado ALOT more! I have loved my IQue, but it's not very rugged and batt life is not as long as I like... looking for a VERY productive day of caching tomorrow!!!! thanks! J

I truefully have not taken this into consideration until reading (or at least skimming over it more than most topics!) I make it a point to report the condition in the on-line log and directly to the owner, and will mention if there is something unique in the find. In lue of a wordy log, I try to post more pictures of the suroundings and unique aspects of a fun or interesting cache. It amazes me at some of the caches I have found in cool locations that have no pictures uploaded to them. I am totally paper-free in the field (IQue 3200) so I do depend on 'past logs' when I am out looking to a cache to hunt. If I see a TNLN or a simple thanks for a past log, I know the cache is still there to be found, which is enough to keep me going. At a minimum, if the cache is in good shape, and the location, descriptions, and hints are all correct with my find, I want to at least offer a thankyou to the owner, and in that let anyone following me to know they aren't looking for a 'lost' cache. I have never looked at my logging of a cache as a way to 'sell' the cache to more hunters, unless the description doesn't do a quality job of that already. We have found some wonderful surprises at caches that. on paper, looked like a quick get and go, and that is part of the fun of all this..... Been trying to type this AND work.... not getting either one done well.... so here are my points!!! A: always say something! (even a 'lazy post' lets others know the cache is there) B: if the cache needs anything, say something! If I see a place I am headed needs a new log, I keep a few little notebooks in the Jeep.. same with pencils and such. (drop the owner a note too!) C: post more pictures! have a fine day! J

http://img.geocaching.com/track/log/10ffff...d9197c76777.jpg Is the old XJ....1999, 2.5 lift, Wrangler Unlimited wheels, KYB shocks, and just all around fun truck got hit head-on and lost it the first part of May, and now have a 2001 XJ.... Green with black and tan interior.... slowly going though all the 'details' prior to lifting it..... is still on OK 'trail-mobile', but had the 1999 just about right for what we do....travel, camping, scouts, and caching.

[ To export the waypoint to your Garmin map you will see a small button at the bottom of the cachemate main screen that says "ex" Just follow the instructions from there. Where is this 'ex' button you speak of??! Have the latest ver of Cachemate and Cachenav and don't have this button (anywhere I can find at least!) I too have been trying to beat my IQue into submission, and this thread has been a great help on how GSAK and Cachemate interact! Thanks! I am just not seeing how to move the data to my Map view.
